Michael Blackson Defends Ice Cube

Ice Cube has been accused of “robbing” Faizon Love, the actor who played “Big Worm” in the iconic Friday movie. A fan, who made this claim on social media, made a mess.

In a recent interview with Comedy Hype, Love said she was only paid $2,500 for starring in the movie.

Ice Cube, on the other hand, was quite angry after the provocations made against him and found support from Michael Blackson.

“@icecube is not to blamed for us getting paid so little it’s the film industry’s pay scale,” he wrote. “I got paid $800 a day when I did Next Friday plus overtime I made $1200 for my one day’s work of ‘I can’t get giggy with this shit.’ Thanks to next Friday I became the biggest African comic.”

“When I film my movie I’m paying new actors in food and coochie, that’s my minimum wage modasucka.”

“yo it’s wild how @icecube act like he for the people and whole time been robbing his own people…Pay them people @FAIZONLOVE @christuckerreal #RIPAjjohnson.”

Ice Cube, on the other hand, showed his anger with his statement. “I didn’t rob no fuckin body. The 1995 Friday movie cost $2.3 million to make. Shot in 20 days. Faizon worked 1 day, maybe 2. All the actors got paid scale to do the movie. They could’ve simple said ‘No’ but they didn’t. So miss me with that shit.”

Love said he would still appear in the movie no matter what he was paid. “Now if I do it again, they talking about the Last Friday then, oh yeah, I’m with it,” he said. “You got a last check? If Cube said, ‘Faizon, there’s no money. I need you to do this.’ I would have to do it on GP because it was that character that brought me into the game heavy.”

Tension Between Ice Cube and Faizon Love

Actor Faizon Love was immortalized as “The Big Worm” in the 1995 cult classic Friday, starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. However, the subsequent statements and mutual showdowns magnified the business.
